other British members of parliament.
When the speakers mounted the plat
form Judge Byrne, the divisional mag

meeting. Thereupon Mr.. Blunt defied
the police, who were at once ordered to
seized the bold speaker, who violently
resisted. Being thrown from the
platform twice, he cried out
loudly: care you such ID
towards that you do not dare to arrest
me-" The district inspector replied: 81
arrest YOU" Mr.. Blunt was then

lice, with his wife following, the people

DEs MONIES, To-, Oct. 23.-The shock
ing tragedy at Maxwell, Story county,
last night has plunged that community
into the deepest gloom. 1t appears that
Perry Ackers, who committed the
cowardly murder, started out last even
ing about 5 O'Clock, bent on destroying
somebody. He borrowed a revolver
from a hardware store on pretense that
he wanted to shoot dog, but he went
straight to the Office of Justice of the
Peace Schmetzer, and, asking him if he
was ready to take his medicine, ad-
ministered it without further explana-
ton, shooting him in the left lower jaw,
the ball passing down and out
by the shoulder blade. He
next entered the office of Mayor
French and, stealing up behind him,
sent bullet into his brain. The mayor
never uttered a word. but died within an
hour. The murderer then passed into
the street, his crime as yet unknown,
and, meeting several citizens, he talked
in threatening manner about evening
up old scores and brandishing his re-
volver freely. Passing ON to the en-
trance to Odd Fellows hall, he said
good bye to the postmaster ON the way,
remarking that he was going to hell, ,and
then shot himself, dying Immediately.
Ackers was shiftless fellow who had
been for some time an object of suspi-
clon, but no one suspected any such
startling tragedy as came.

young on Chlldren's day in June. The
church made its offering for the veteran
heroes of the conference who have retired

names are placed on the superanuated list
which is called the roll of honor.
The church was beautifully decorated with
fruits and flowers. The collections, includ-
ing the most sombre and gorgeous, were SO
arranged as to produce very fine effect. A
cross of ferns and frost flowers hung in the
rear of the pulpit. flower stand filed with
fruits of varied shades and tints stood at the
left of the pulpit over which trailed wild
vines. A little further to the left was pill
low of flowers and an urn of fruits and flow
ers. At the right of the pulpit was very
large urn containing the choicest branches of
the forest, and on the platform below another
bouquet. On the table in front of the pulpit
were the larger fruits with the wild beauty of
the vine, and above all was suspended a
crown. The decorations will be photographed

Improvements at stapleton.

Our reporter meeting Col. Staples at
crossing The Colonies ready answer was,
"Stapleton is fixed fact, foregOne con
clusion; the enterprise is too firmly estsb-
lished upon the bed rock of certainty to admit
progress here. New houses will continue to
be built, new streets laid out and constructed,
water introduced, street lights, a railroad
station and all the modern improvements,
gentlemen have been waited to the realms
above. Stspleton will go marching on"
"What two gentlemen are those?"
"Those are the Maine Central officials,
over the ground for a new railroad station,
at Stapleton. My letter to Mr. Tucker,
calling his attention to the matter was favor
ably answered by return mail Mr. Tucker sees
right the first time,-there is no film over
has eyes. There is great scarcity of Payson
fuckers. | wish there were more of them.
GLOW about the new street and its probs-
BILE cost?"
"The street is well underway but far from
being finished. 1t is amusing to note the
diversity of opinion a. to the cost of the work.
Some estimate it at SIS 900, and down to
$500 The amount expended thus far is for
grading $500, culvert 1884. l consider it a
good showing for the money. In my opin-
ion the work should go on, especially in win
ter when the city team is not otherwise en-
gagged, in order to make secure the work
already done and make the grade easier.
$780, in addition to that already expended
would make an excellent street with an easy
grade, and of good width. Then apply the
taxes from that locality year by year until it
is in proper condition, and it will very soon
be complete for all time. No one of good
Judgment would think of filling IN from point
to point There will always be depression
but 1t should certainly be filled in rs high
as the railroad, and that very soon.
Good Judges say the road will be worth Sl0,-
600 to the city. think that is stating it
low at least one-half. Gage street is des-
tined to become a great thoroughfare as fu-
ture developments will demonstrate. This
community, you will see, is Available acqui-
sition to Augusta. The people of Stapleton
ask no exemption from taxation; they expect
to pay their full share, neither will they add
to the psuper list of the city"
"How is public sentmentT
"Public sentiment is entirely with US in this
matter liberal policy exercised BY the
Common Council toward this enterprise
would more speedily result in large returns
of taxable property. Such citizens as these
are desirable; indeed they are wanted An
immediate expenditure of $500 should never
stand in the way of such an enterprise as this;
but let come what will, Mr.. Reporter, you
NAV rest assured that Stspleton is bound to
come. Mr. Humphrey will build two more
houses on Gage street, commencing next
Monday"
"What lumber is that?"
"That is for two more houses on Child
street That man is q stranger looking up
a lot on Capitol street. Child street will be
opened in a few days. We are glad you

A NEW INVENTION,
An Augusta Man Solves the Problem Tn IT
has Puzzled Many Minds.

Journal man dropped into the carriage
works and repository of Hiram Clark on
Wster street Saturday afternoon. He found
large force ofworkmen busily engaged in the
various departments. He had been informed
that Mr.. Clark had just completed a new
invention in the carriage line and so hastily
glancing over the many vehicles in various
states of completion he made his way to the
vanishing room where he found the object of
his search. Here he found Mr.. Clark engaged
in directing the finishing touches and was
cordially received by him. The peculiar con-
struction of the particular wagon at once
attracted the Journal mans attention
You understand" said Mr.. Clark, .that it
has been problem for carriage builders to
get up wagon which shall be low so as to
be easily loaded and yet possesses all the advan-
tages in draft and turning that an ordinary
express wagon has Continuing. "the
Phillips wagon lowered the body between the
wheels but did not overcome the disadvant-
age incident. 1t was hard to haul and was
unhandy to turn. l made up my mind that
could find some way to overcome these outs
and improve upon the Phillips wagon in
other ways. So l set TO work, with this re-
suit. I have a combination drop axle wagon
that solves the problem
"You notice that this wagon is lowered be-
tween the wheels by these drop axlss. Now il
the body were not made narrower, it could not
without this fifth wheel arrangement be easily
turned; but this arrangement is the secret OF
the whole business. act the king bolt back
on the reach which connects the two axles, so
that the combination in turning throws the
body to the opposite side. You notice also,
that this is done with wheels of ordinary size
Now, another thing, the Phillips wagon
has short body so as TO leave
the forward axle room to turn. But this
combination permits long body, so that the
weight of the load is evenly distributed be-
tween both axles. The shafts are attached
you see, so that they haul in straight line
with the back axle. This is a cross spring
wagon and is designed for the hardware
trade ;but if one wants it adapted to the grocery
business it is easily converted to a side spring
wagon by lengthening the reaches and rock
ers."
The Journal man was much pleased with
the wagon, and well he might be for beside be-
ing a remarkably useful invention, it was a
beauty in construction and ornamentation.
This particular wagon is built for Pritchard
and Fairbanks of Bangor, and will be sent
them to-day. The guilt lettering and brush

Clark has patents applied for upon the special
parts of the combination which he has been
assured of obtaining.
